Mundande Meditation

[Cynthia Stults]

Angela, I'm sure my husband wishes that I viewed vacuuming with the same appreciation that you do! For me, it's running out in nature on the trails. You are fairly isolated, and after awhile, you get into the running groove, but at the same time, you need to remain engaged so that you can avoid rocks, logs, and other pitfalls that can show up on the trail. I'm impressed that you lasted that long in the factory, as I think I might be lucky to make it a week! I have found that traditional meditation is incredibly hard to me to sit there, close my eyes, and do nothing! My mind can't quiet down, and instead, I keep thinking of all the things I should be doing.  I guess I am just like one of the novice monks who NEEDED the tea ceremony to keep their mind occupied.
